is logic. that's all can say" Now 1 am per-
fectly willing to admit that the Republican
party has done much for the cause of temper
ance in Maine. Here is what find fault with.
The temperance men of that party never look
beyond the narrow orbit of their own county
or town. They do not seem to realize that
there are from thirty-tve to forty other States
in the Union and that the Republican party of
Maine is but a small fragment of that Organi-
zation in the nation. When the national Re-
publican party takes up the cause of Prohibi-
ton as cardinal doctrine of their belief, then
l am Republican heart and soul. This they
will never do. They will endorse it in Maine,
Iowa, or Kansas, where it is popular. and en-
dorse the saloon in every State where they can
gain more votes by so doing. 1t is this hypocrisy
and double dealing that has called the Prohibi-
ton party into being. Besides. State laws and
local option can never remedy the disease. AS
well might you attempt to kill the forest oak
by pruning off the ends of its branches. The
tap root must be secered. The great question
that agitates Congress to-day is how to reduce
the surplus revenue. Mr.. Editor, do you
realize from what source that surplus is de-
rived? A large portion of it comes from the
importation of foreign liquor. and from the
internal revenues collected on the same article
of home manufacture. Have you yet heard of
a single Congressman of either the old parties
introducing bill to reduce the revenue by
stopping the importation of this curse that is
hurrying our nation towards the brink of
ucStt uCtIoHs IL 81, peusc Sldlt HIS LdLllc, anu
tell us the fate of his bill. How would this
idea strike you for craftsmanship? Speak up
loudly, and in your usual bold and truthful
manner. The Prohibition party would 90 to
the root of this evil by stopping its importa-
tion and domestic manufacture. Violations
of this law would then be followed and
punished with the same relentless vigor that
all other crimes are. The rum vote would not
be pandcred to in order to retain ''otfce,'' as
Mr.. Dow so unwittnsly admitted is being done
to-day. Here is an issue that good men of all
parties can unite upon. Its platform is as
broad as humanity itself. When Peter the
Great founded his new city amid the marshes
of the Neva, he attempted to lay the founda-
tions of national glory and happiness. Had he
then released from slavery the one hundred
thousand >erf> who peri>hed and were laid be-
meath its massive piles, he would have spared
from intestine disorder and corruption the
more splendid capital which he afterwards
reared. In rearing the sub-structure of our
own loved country let us be sure that its
foundations are laid in sobriety, justice, and
temperance. If we fail in this. we shall destroy
the blessings and happiness which this Ameri
can republic might otherwise confer upon the
callSe of humanity. l.. G.. RATENIAN.

A Rapid Gain.

little more than year ago. new prepara-
ton for the cure of coughs. colds, hoarseness.
and sore throat, was introduced to the Ameri-
can public. Although placed Oh the market in
quiet way, without any attempt at sensation
al advertising, the new remedy at once made
its mark, and attracted very favorable comment.
Its success was attributed mainly to two
things: In the first place, it was absolutely free
from drugs. Most cough preparations are
loaded with drugs. This remedy contains none.
Secondly, it embodied principle in its most
perfect FORM which the human race has again
and again resortcd to for the cure of throat dis
tempers, namely, the union Of sweet aud a
sour in very agreeable, as well as effective
combination. The success of the new remedy
was WONDERFUL. Wherever il was tried, adj
herents We're Immediately gained. Its name is
Lactart and Honey, and judged by it record, it
is one of the most valuable preparations that
can be employed to cure coughs, colds, hoarse-
ness, or sore throat. Its pleasant taste makes
it just the thing for children while its effective
curative power makes it valuable to everybody.

The Price of a Bushel of Corn.

The Milling World has an ingenious and
interesting article, tracing a bushel of corn
from the field to the bar where it is dispensed
as whiskey at SO much drink. The bushel of
corn costs the man who grows it 30 cents.
When he goes to the bar and buys it back as a
whi>key cocktail it furnishes him just two
drinks for his 30 cents. The distiller takes the
original busheI of corn and converts it into II
quarts of whi>key for which service he gets
sl.O. The government puts on a tax of 80
cents gallon, which brings the bushe of corn
up to S5Sj. BY the time the whiskey gets TO
the retailers bar its quantity has been doubled
by dilution and otherwise, that it represents
$ l-2 gallons of liquor, furnishes 210 drinks at
10 cents each. Thus the 30 cents worth of
corn becomes $40 70 worth of drink
